The Search for Identity

In this podcast, Eckhart talks with an audience in Prague. He
explains that most people are searching for an identity. For many
that leads to disappointment. Eckhart uses the word dukkha which
in Buddhism means suffering. He explains most of us are consumed
with thoughts about our problems which become part of our
identity. We also define ourselves through externals: our bodies,
possessions, even our ancestry becomes an identity. Eckhart says
many people don’t realize they are unhappy because they think
it’s a normal state. Eckhart explains we’re looking in the wrong
place because when we discover our true identity, we awaken
spiritually.
